I'm Darien Cruz, Director of US Business Development for The Lockett Group in London, connecting international opportunities with US-based capital and clients. I also run Charles & Cross Global Advisory, a private firm focused on off-market introductions for UHNW individuals, family offices, developers, and hospitality groups across the US, UK, Spain, and the Caribbean. Locally, I lead The Cruz Group at Choice Residential in North Carolina. Our team handles residential sales across Raleigh, Cary, Apex, and the Triangle for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and luxury clients. My work spans global deal flow and local execution, sourcing opportunities other agents don't see and structuring deals that work for every side involved.
